The Book Of My Life(Album Version) feat. Anoushka Shankar

歌詞

Let me watch by the fire and remember my days And it may be a trick of the firelight But the flickering pages that trouble my sight Is a book I'm afraid to write It's the book of my days it's the book of my life And it's cut like a fruit on the blade of a knife And it's all there to see as the section reveals There's some sorrow in every life If it reads like a puzzle a wandering maze Then I won't understand etil the end of my days I'm still forced to remember Remember the words of my life <♪> There are promises broken and promises kept Angry words that were spoken when I should have wept There's a chapter of secrets and words to confess If I lose everything that I possess There's a chapter on loss and a ghost who won't die There's a chapter on love where the ink's never dry There are sentences served in a prison I built out of lies <♪> Though the pages are numbered I can't see where they lead For the end is a mystery no-one can read In the book of my life <♪> There's a chapter on fathers a chapter on sons There are pages of conflicts that nobody won And the battles you lost and your bitter defeat There's a page where we fail to meet There are tales of good fortune that couldn't be planned There's a chapter on god that I don't understand There's a promise of Heaven and Hell but I'm damned if I see <♪> Though the pages are numbered I can't see where they lead For the end is a mystery no-one can read In the book of my life <♪> Now the daylight's returning And if one sentence is true All these pages are burning And all that's left is you <♪> Though the pages are numbered I can't see where they lead For the end is a mystery no-one can read In the book of my life
